  I am getting disfellowshipped

  maybe some of you remember me, maybe not.

  for general information i am now 19 years old, and living by myself.

  for the past 1 year (more like 1.5 years) i have been quietly fading out of the hypocrisy of this organization, but since i still live in the town i grew up in it has been hard, and filled with different challenges.

  They might ask in different ways. "Do you believe the Governing Body is the faithful and discreet slave?"

  to which you could quite rightly reply---" since when.? not when i last went to the meetings."

  If you do insist on going....then certainly take a recorder...and tell the elders you will be recording the proceedings.

  They will cancel the meeting.

  What is the new hq's for then? they don't do printing there, what exactly do jw's think hq is for?

  its there so that visiting dubs can be shown around--to see how nice it is. then they can tell all their friends how nice it is too, so that they will want to go and see it as well.

  Do You Know Any “Gay” Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of course the religion condemns homosexuality but did you know any gay witnesses?

  i knew some bethelites that were very effeminate and i remember 4 women who were suspected of being lesbians by many in the congregation.

  they eventually moved away and were very vocal against males, especially elders..

  talk about homosexuality all you want to--if you feel the need.

  as i said--i dont like the use of the word "gay" thats all. i'm quite happy to use the word "homosexual"

  and dont invite me to stay away from this forum.

  Stan,
  

  I’m curious why you’d say that.

  It may be different in other places, but where I live (Southern California) gay is the preferred term for self-identification by all the homosexual people I know.

  What’s “in yer face” about it? Please explain.

  
  

  i dont see the need for a label. why the need to label someone as gay--homo--whatever. i dont need to call myself straight--or hetero.. i know a few guys who are de facto homosexual--only because they live with another man in a relationship. why the need to identify ?

  as regards "in yer face" i was referring to some homosexuals who feel the need to try to create some sort of reaction. as far as i'm concerned--a person being homosexual means nothing --like if they are left handed--or vegetarian. its their life--not mine.
